Re: James Aiken, father of Margaret of NH

I think our two James Aikens have been mixed together for so long that it's like untangling yarn! I have a letter from James Aiken's granddaughter, naming him her grandfather but it does not name her grandmother. Benjamin Chase in his book about Chester,NH names my James AIKEN's wife, Mary McFARLAND, daughter of Andrew McFARLAND. A secondary source named Andrew's wife Rebecca GRAY or SCOTT. I have no idea where that name came. The children that source gave are different then the children, Chase lists. I wish I could see some Chester, NH vital records. The FHC hasn't microfilmed any so far and it's a long trip from the Rocky Mountains to the New Hampshire Mountains!
